Lily had to leave gymnastics tonight. She was acting up and refused to listen to Miss Joy. She cried as we left. Hope next week is better.

Project 365: Day 44 – Game Time
Since Christmas, I’ve been picking up children’s games here and there. Lily received Scrabble Junior for Christmas. I recently purchased Skip Bo, Uno, Yahtzee, and Rummikub, as well as a couple of other kid-themed card games.
The goal is from 8-8:30pm, to play a game with Lily. She lives games and it’s one-on-one time that she so desperately craves.
Tonight, we played two games did Rummikub, both of which she won. We started a game of Scrabble Junior, but Navy required my attention.
This seems like a good strategy for us. She’s getting the attention she needs, and I have a board gaming buddy. Win!
Project 365: Day 43 – Sleeping Like a Baby
Such a long day, and Navy was a real trooper. He didn’t get crabby until we were heading home.
Once home, he proceeded to have an exhausted baby meltdown, which can only be cured by cuddling.
I love when my son falls asleep in my arms.
Simple Homemade Valentines
I wanted to make Lily’s valentines for her class this year. Something simple that would be more of a keepsake for her classmates. So, we took a picture this morning and did the instant prints at Walmart.
Project 365: Day 23 – The Simple Things
Took the kids to the mall today. Please explain to me why I thought this was a good idea. Gale force winds. Chance of sleet. Anyway…
Lily told me, “Thank you, Mommy, for letting me eat.”
Um, you’re welcome?! A couple of awkward stares and stifled snickers from parents who have been there.
She followed it up with, “All those yummy things.”
“Those yummy things” being a cookie decorated like a piece of pizza from Blondie’s Cookies and a pretzel dog from Auntie Anne’s.
Oh, now I remember why we went. I knew she would love it.
